Day 1 - BBC Worldwide Advent Calendar

[TopGearrules]

1st of december!

[96Harmony]

bbc is a British channel not American

[50Dashes]

What have you got to say for yourself?

"I like this wallpaper!"

[ealoria5]

Love it....Utterly British, old chap

[wuzimu1234]

bbc isgood but the vids are slow

[NoginFlyer]

@drdarkeny

BBC = BRITISH Broadcasting Corporation.

[drdarkeny]

Yes, I know, Nogin - so what's the point?

[Qoureno]

Merry Christmas, children from all over the world! It's me, Rudolf! Hahaha!...

(after a while)

... Was I drunk or something?...

[shathriel]

a 70s comedy called the goodlife.

a couple who shun modern life and grow all their own food, generate their own power etc., and they still live next to their very rich, pompous neighbours.

[drdarkeny]

Thank you, shathriel - I'd never seen this one, but had seen Penelope Keith in enough other shows to recognize her. :)

[MrsDanvers100]

Classic!

[drdarkeny]

Why don't we get a title card somewhere in the clips to let us know what we're watching? I know December 1 is some BritCom starring Penelope Keith, and the second is some cooking show - but what is it? Can we see it on BBC America or buy it on DVD? Or is this just a way to burn off some old shows and see if anybody's interested - which we might be if we knew which shows they are?

[Tsukkgin]

@drdarkeny Im pretty sure this is 'The Good life'

[drdarkeny]

Tsukkgin - thank you. :)

But you shouldn't have had to answer that question at all - the calendar, if it's a promo for the BBC, should have done it for us.

[LowSweetChariot]

Here's some advice: Read the info before commenting.

[sean2mush]

it's the science teacher from willy wonka and the chocolate factory. "only 2 wonka bars"

[markcerny]

Christmas does come in a van. A FedEx van, to be precise.

[AnnaSmee]

This is funny? :(

[Bubblegumbluevik]

@AnnaSmee old british humour lol

[imhavingmentalblocks]

thank you!

[Pineapple5064]

I loved this. Yes, her christmas can only get worse I fear, and then in a surprising twist, better again as she realises all she needs is friends.

[jonquills66]

You (in Canada) 're lucky! We in Australia get sweet sod all!

*muttering* bunch of cultural pygmies in this god forsaken country

[fscarp]

I love these BBC bits. In Canada we have The Trailer Park Boys Christmas Special. A modern classic in its own right. Although, not for the wee kids.

[amazonchiq]

I used to love this show, ah memories ...

[mytmyt]

Ah! They cut the bit where the delivery man observes Barbara's eyes!  Sigh...

[DrAnnieErewhon]

great show- still can be seen in re-runs on PBS

[KissHope]

Can also be seen on NetFlix online for free with a monthly membership. I watched the whole series one weekend...love this program.

[owenhunt]

I've never really seen this series, never had the chance. Still, better than chocolate ain't it?

[KissHope]

Can see for free on NetFlix online if you have a membership. Lot's of great BBC comedies.

[FILMMAKERCHAP]

i can see margo's christmas going wrong...

[AfricanMadman]

Is this Monty Python?

[theultimatekoopa2]

@AfricanMadman The Good Life (lrn2readdescriptions)

[DollfaceNesmith]

[2charliep]

Margot Ledbetter, unforgetable!!!

[jarbydnjksd]

A clasic clip, merry christmas to everyone :)

[bohogirl1]

thank you for this slice of remembrance.

[maruka2123]

oh it would be nice to have a van come over and have all done for Chirstmas just like that! I love british humour, I`m going to watch some hercule poirot now! :))

[ivageivage]

[timx73]

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

[DoctorPlausible]

When the lady first walked in, I thought it was Graham Chapman in drag.
